Term: I will bless those who bless you

and the one who curses you I will curse, I will bless those who bless you

The Greek that is often translated in English as “I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse” is translated in Shilluk as “I will bless those who pray for a blessing for you, and those who call a curse upon you I will call to be cursed.” In Shilluk only God can give blessings and cannot curse people.

See also curse and cursed.

Language: Shilluk

Verse: Gen 12:3
